Text
Ms Nicholl asked the Minister of Education, after stating that he will be well aware of the issues that Rosetta Primary School is facing with its hall, and further stating that, even though she knows that she should not have favourite constituents, her favourite constituent is Lucy, who is aged nine, goes to that school and came into her office on Friday, what message he can give Lucy about the state of the hall and when it will be fixed again because she wants to do PE in it.
